@digiranma.bsky.socialThe extra 500 Yen in the budget means a more elaborate transformation sequence...

...annnnnnnnnnnnnd that's where it all went...I'm sorry, but the chest plate looks like it'll slip at any moment... #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialSo, Jiro had a guitar. You heard those chords, you knew someone was in for an ass kicking. 01 has...
@digiranma.bsky.socialAkira escapes in the swerers...wonder if Hikaiders' plans include dysentery...only the end of the sewers reveal an old lady and the Hakaiders waiting for him in the usual rock quarry. #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialWell, this attack angers a nearby statue...only to reveal under it our hero, Kikaider 01...who's been in that statue for 3 years? Uh...why? #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialWell, whatever's making Akira wonder, he's wondered right into a lab where...there's no guard, so he can just go right in...right when the Hikaider Force starts attacking. #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialWait, hold up, Japan is just letting this little kid wonder around their whole country for possibly weeks!?
IT'S JAPAN! JAPAN AIN'T THE NEIGHBOR'S FIVE BACKYARD PORCHES AWAY! #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialYeah, we got Hakaider, Red Hakaider, Blue Hakaider, and Silver Hakaider. IRL, because the Hakaider saga drove home the success of the original Kikaider. In universe, Dark's supposedly no more and need a kid named Akira to rule the world. #AndroidKikaider01
@digiranma.bsky.socialYeah, Hakader's back...with clones because that's 4 times the market value! #AndroidKikaider01

@digiranma.bsky.socialUp next, it's time to see how the little brother deals with the whole "I WANNA BE HUMAN" thing. "Invincible! Android 01 Is Born!" #AndroidKikaider01
Also, reminder, this is the LIVE ACTION ORIGINAL SERIES.
@digiranma.bsky.socialTomorrow, well, had the OG series for Mondays at one point, so let's continue it here! In the words of Yoda, "There is another!" It's time to see how Jiro's brother does in the original live action #AndroidKikaider01 tomorrow night!
@digiranma.bsky.socialNext week, we're still on a robot kick. We had a Monday with Jiro trying to find his humanity, now it's his brother's turn as we look at the live action #AndroidKikaider01!
